- HHHanna Houle6 days ago5.0I am so thankful for the wonderful staff of Goddard. My daughter has been attending Goddard for a little over a year and the love and community they surround my baby with is incredible. The admins and teachers are so kind, present, and have created such a warm space for our babies to not just grow, but to be enriched and loved. Thank you, Goddard, for cultivating this beautiful community!
- LPluisa polaniaSep 22, 20255.0This daycare has been an amazing place for our children. The staff are truly the heart of this daycare. They are not just caregivers; they are genuine educators and nurturers. They approach each child with warmth, patience, and enthusiasm. We specially love Miss Erinn, Miss Janise, Mr. Chris, Miss Elaina and Miss Nicole. The communication is fantastic – we get regular updates, photos, and detailed reports about their day, which really makes us feel connected. The environment is bright and clean. They have a fantastic range of age-appropriate toys, books, and learning materials. The outdoor play area is spacious and secure, allowing the children plenty of room to run and explore.
- JLJoong-Sae LeeAug 21, 20255.0The school has done a great job of keeping care of our infant during day care. We started our journey with Goddard when our child was about 3.5 months old. And their staff, Miss Maya, Mrs. Carletta and the other caretakers, along with the administrative staff were extremely attentive and caring. We felt safe leaving Nora to be cared by their team. Highly recommend if looking for a safe environment for your infant.
- SPStephen ParrisAug 14, 20255.0This review is about two years too late, but I was just thinking back to the great times at Goddard! Our son was at Goddard Midtown from 2 months old through pre-k and was an instant part of their family. We have fond memories of all the teachers and staff and were always treated as one of their own. They set him up for success and he has been thriving ever since. Our daughter was there, as well for two years and it was just as great. We needed to move her closer to our son’s elementary school once his kindergarten started and they were nothing but supportive that what was in our kids’ best interest was the right choice. We have enjoyed our new program and are happy there, as well… but I must say we do miss the daily interactions with leadership and the personal attention that this school gave our family. We love you Goddard Midtown! The Parris family. (Shhh.. don’t tell the new guys. 😂)
- MGMalika & Dyron GivensJul 30, 20255.0Our son has attended Goddard since he was an infant to the Pre-school 1 (Bridge) class. It has been a wonderful experience. He has grown in so many ways. He loves his fellow classmates and speaks highly of his teachers. Goddard has a wonderful facility where the classrooms are spacious and clean. They had an very cool mural that depicted the city itself. The playgrounds are nice and safe for the kids to play on. There are generally enough parking for drop-off and pick-up. The enrichment programs provide the kids with an opportunity to develop different skills and interests. The best thing about Goddard is its amazing staff. Jamie, the director, made us feel that our son would be safe and cared for from the first day. The administrative staff are fun, approachable, and friendly. The staff creates a balanced schedule that supports a fun and engaging environment for both kids and parents. The teachers do a great job at development of the basic needs of our child. They care for, stimulate and nurture the kids to allow them to grow and learn. The only downside is the traffic surrounding the school, but that's Atlanta for you. As parents, you want to make sure you are making the right choice with daycare and Goddard did that for us. We are very grateful for the impact Goddard has had on our son’s growth.
